President Buhari yesterday told members of the United Nations to return
stolen funds and assets that are stashed in their countries. He made the
call while speaking at a session in the ongoing UN General Assembly
currently holding in New York.

"Illicit financial assets harbored abroad deprive developing countries
including Nigeria the enjoyment of their national wealth and resources
required for development. This is why Nigeria calls on the United
Nations to remain vocal and active in addressing the negative impact of
non-repatriation of illicit financial assets. As soon as stolen assets
are legally established, they should swiftly be repatriated"he said.
